Jiang Rujin lifted the curtain and looked at the caravan behind him, and the Huwei Dart Bureau followed behind their carriage from a distance.At this moment, she had no intention of resting at all, and she had a lot of words in her heart that she wanted to ask Qi Gongzi, but seeing Qi Gongzi's serious and hidden appearance, the words came to her mouth and finally swallowed back, she understood that Qi Gongzi must be very anxious now, and it was difficult to hold back all kinds of careful thoughts that were surging in her heart.The carriage didn't stop until the sun went down, and by this time they had left the bandits' control, and villagers could still be seen on the roads of many nearby villages."
This is where you get there," Jiang Rujin glanced outside, and finally opened his mouth.Qi Gongzi lifted the curtain and looked outside in confusion and shook his head: "I don't know what place this is, I guess I was passing by that village, now that the sun has set, the dart game behind me is estimated to be unable to catch up with us, or we will live in the village tonight." ”Jiang Rujin was still very scared in her heart, now she thinks that living in the wilderness is better than living in an unfamiliar place, she shook her head and said with some reluctance: "Qi Gongzi, can we not live here" She looked embarrassed, and felt a little guilty in her heart, feeling that it was a little bad for her to say this, after all, she should not have much choice, she should listen to what Qi Gongzi said.Qi Gongzi's favorite thing to watch is Jiang Rujin's shy temperament, and comforted: "I know that you are a little afraid of encountering bandits, which has left a shadow in your heart, but you can rest assured that this is nothing to live in an ordinary village for one night." ”She bit her lip and said guiltily; "Qi Gongzi, please don't mind that maybe I'm thinking too much, and please forgive me for my cranky thinking."
She was bitten by a snake for a year and was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and she was a little scared when she met the bandits in the morning, worried that everyone she met had ulterior motives, and she was also worried that she was unlucky and met someone she shouldn't have met.Qi Gongzi and the coachman went to the village, and soon found a family willing to take them in for the night.The carriage entered the yard, she lifted the curtain and observed carefully, this is a very ordinary yard, there is a well on the south wall of the yard, the courtyard wall of the whole yard is mud wall, even the house is the same, and the low thatched roof makes her feel a little sad, in her previous life, she did not even have the qualification to own her own house, even if it is a thatched house.Holding back the messy thoughts in his heart, Qi Gongzi gently patted her shoulder behind her and reminded, "It's time to get off." ”She felt that she was a little out of shape, and after tidied up her clothes and hair, she turned to look at Qi Gongzi, who had already gotten out of the carriage.Qi Gongzi is very good at getting along with people, although he usually looks serious, the owner of this house is a man in his forties, the man's hair is a little gray and his face is vicissitudes, and the clothes on his body are patched, Jiang Rujin looked curiously at the surrounding wall, the wall is a mud wall, and even the courtyard gate is tied up with a few wooden sticks, and a woman in a blue dress is curiously standing aside and looking at them.Qi Gongzi had already talked to the man, and she stood quietly behind Qi Gongzi and listened.The middle-aged man's tone was a little helpless: "It's time for you to come, if you come late, even I don't dare to take you in." ”As soon as he said this, something immediately occurred to the two of them.Qi Gongzi frowned slightly and said: "I heard that the eldest brother means that there is something in the words, can you explain to us what is going on" He was also a little irritable and nervous by the previous bandits, he was worried that those bandits would not give up one by one, and now he found that he himself also had Jiang Rujin's worries, so he was worried that those bandits would catch up one by one.The middle-aged man shook his head and looked helpless: "We haven't been peaceful here recently, and I don't know what's going on, the bandits dozens of miles away actually started to sweep the village, not long ago, the next village was looted by that group of bandits, our village is now closed at night, no matter who knocks on the door, they won't open the door, you came early, otherwise I wouldn't dare to take you in." ”Qi Gongzi didn't expect the bandits to be so rampant, and he was very surprised: "If such a thing happened, doesn't the government care" When he talked about the middle-aged man in the government, his eyes were full of disdain, and he said with some contempt: "They come relatively quickly every time they collect taxes, and even if something like this happens, even if we go to them, they may not come to help us, not to mention that the Li Zheng in the next village went to the yamen on the same day, and those officials not only did not come, but also hit several big boards, and now who dares to go to the government to complain, we can only protect ourselves." , It's all a stupid way to think that it's okay to close the door, but it's just self-deception. ”The middle-aged man sighed after speaking, and the lady on the side went to close the courtyard door with some worry, and then beckoned: "Don't stand outside, everyone, it's getting dark, let's go into the house and talk, our family is poor, so please don't dislike it." ”The woman's voice sounded very simple, and Jiang Rujin was a little relieved when she heard this voice.They entered the house together, Jiang Rujin knew that the family was really poor, there were many baskets in the main house, which contained recovered sweet potatoes and some corn, a shabby square table leaned against the wall, and there were two bowls of leftovers in the bowls.The stool next to the table is also very old, and the mottled red paint can be seen because it should have been a delicate object.Jiang Rujin was a little distracted, this man's home was poorer than her family before, maybe the middle-aged man saw Jiang Rujin's surprised eyes, stretched out his hand and scratched his head honestly, and said embarrassedly: "Is my house very messy, the child and her mother are not in good health, I usually have to be busy doing farm work, so no one cleans up the house, please don't mind, it's going to be one night tonight." ”She is very grateful to have someone to take them in, and now the middle-aged man is still so polite, to be honest, I am really embarrassed, because it should be them.Qi Gongzi arched his hand and said: "Big brother said it too politely, the real embarrassment should be us, if there is anything in the most important place, please bear with the eldest brother." ”The woman had already turned to leave, the middle-aged man beckoned the three of them to sit down and began to tell them about the bandits, and after a while, the woman came in again with two large bowls, Jiang Rujin saw that there were a few baked cakes in the bowl, and the other hand was holding a bowl of pickles.The woman cleaned up the bowl on the table and beckoned the three of them to eat: "My family is poor, and I have nothing to entertain you, I made it myself, please don't dislike it, make do with it." ”:
